In addition, Quantum’s carbon monoxide alarm utilizes a biotechnology sensor, which was tested by LBNL to be the only false alarm free technology. All other technologies false alarmed to gases found in common household products such as air fresheners, disinfectants, cleaners, detergents and alcohols. There are other reasons why Quantum’s carbon monoxide alarms (CO alarms) are a great choice to protect you and your family because they are the most reliable, competitive in cost, have attractive design, easy to install and give you the best value. Studies by the Gas Research Institute showed that about 70 % of people with just one false alarm will ignore future alarms. Many have died as a result. Crying wolf leads to tragedy and this is a major reason why Quantum has the best carbon monoxide detection technology.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the ‘Silent Killer’, and for a very good reason. It’s odorless, colorless and tasteless, and is the #1 cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. More than 1,500 people are killed annually, according to the Mayo Clinic and another 10,000 to 20,000 are injured every year. However, the Mayo Clinic study excludes deaths in the workplace and fire fatalities. Carbon monoxide kills more than 66% of all fire victims according to Berl and Halpren. If you add in those CO deaths; the total is about 3000 per year, according to the only 10 year study in scientific publications (refereed journal) such as the JAMA.

Why can’t I just pick up any carbon monoxide alarm (CO alarm) for my home?

You need to buy false alarm free technology. Competitors’ carbon monoxide alarms (CO alarms), such as First Alert and Kidde, often use liquid electrochemical carbon monoxide sensors (CO sensors). These are sensitive to many common household gases, particularly from cleaning products, disinfectants and air fresheners, which leads to frequent false alarms. Besides being annoying, family members get used to ignoring them and don’t take action, which can have fatal results. In fact, many people have died because false alarms caused them to not respond to a real alarm.

There are other reasons why Quantum’s Carbon Monoxide Alarms (CO Alarms) are a great choice to protect you and your family because they are:

**False alarms are a life safety issue. Many people including a New York doctor’s 4 children and their babysitter are dead today because they had one or more false alarms, when the real alarm came they ignored the warning.

Quantum Group’s mission is to provide the most reliable and false alarm free carbon monoxide detectors and CO/smoke/heat combination detectors that exceed our customer requirements and keep families safe from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

We research, develop, manufacture and sell Carbon Monoxide Alarms, CO detectors, CO/smoke/heat detectors, CO ventilation controls, catalysts and detectors for residential and commercial use. Today we are a world leader in biotechnology based carbon monoxide sensors, alarms, controls and catalysts. We license our technology to other carbon monoxide detector manufacturers, and supply CO sensors and proprietary components to licensed manufacturers. We also make system carbon monoxide alarms (CO alarms) and private label them for other companies.

We also supply over 35% of the CO alarms purchased annually by recreational vehicle manufacturers. Besides making residential safety products to protect families against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, we plan to focus on creating carbon monoxide alarm (CO alarm) systems for large buildings where people sleep, such as dormitories, hotels, hospitals, apartments and condominiums.
